Re: K20 lift springs on a ccdrw k30 to inprove ride?

Do you have any pics of the spring being 3" wide? How can you get the springs mounted to the D60 if they're 3" wide? They only have 2 1/2" or room between the bolts and the u-blolt. My D60 is from a 88 V30 and it had 2 1/2" wide front springs and rear. The truck was a cc lb drw. Everyone I've seen has always had 2 1/2" wide springs. Fords have 3" springs and I've tried using fors springs on a chevy D60 and it wouldn't work without building a new way to secure the spring to the housing.

So how big of a lift do you want to end up with on this truck? Ordering the lift kit isn't that hard even with a shackle flip in the rear. Get a new stock spring and if you need an inch, get a leveling spring for it. Then pick your front spring. Can you take a pic of your front springs in your truck as well? I'd like to see them if you don't mind.
